This is exactly what I thought as I read this. If they want to play this card I think it should be embraced as an example of exactly why we need to abolish the whole copyright system. I reckon they would fall all over themselves backpedaling.
"It's a pretty simple equation: if you, say, get 10 subscribers for $2/month, that's $20/month. That's not that much money. If you can make more than that in advertising, then you're better off advertising."
And if you can sell those 10 subscriber's eyeballs looking at the screen to 100 advertisers over the course of that month, advertising will always make more.
People will subscribe to a channel as a one off. If they pay for a month of a show they will watch all of that show that the channel as to offer and then drop it and move to a different channel.
This decision may be partially based off the claims that people want Ala-cart pricing on cable. The truth is if cable allowed that then hundreds of channels would not be supported.
As much as I dislike advertising, the drive of advertisers to push their product to people will always be stronger than the desire of individuals to part with their hard earned income. Advertising works to pay for content delivery because of this. I don't know if it always will, but I don't see subscriptions being the replacement. If they were crazy eyed Glenn Beck would be happy to be on the Internet only, instead of trying to get cable and satellite carriers to pick up his ... umm content.
The kid was shot in the thigh. If the bullet just went in flesh, then the wound would be like a puncture wound and might not have even bled very much.
It states in the original article the boy was up and walking around.
The 14 year old was shot by a 24 year old who lives in the same house. I suspect mom may have realized the 24 year old was going to jail if she went to the hospital, she may not have wanted that.
As mentioned previously, cost of hospital visit.
There are many understandable reasons she may have been reluctant to go to the hospital. Not that she was justified, but I believe it is understandable.
It looks like Jacques Nazaire forgot to pack a parachute when he got on the Prenda flight to fantasy land. Now that he sees it is not headed where he thought it was he is desperately working the controls.
He will continue on board...all the way to the crash site.
The takeaway from this is obvious.
Too many great inventions are slipping through without being patented, therefore the system is too hard.
We need to make patents more like copyright. Automatically applied to every invention and make them last until the last of the inventors offspring have died.

Re: Absolution for Prenda.
I was surprised when I came up with two (actually two variations of the same thing).
They get a jury trial and:
1. get a jury of RIAA/MPAA groupies.
2. get a jury of card carrying jury nullification advocates.
As far a a good Priest granting absolution, I'm reasonably sure no good Priest would do it, but an evil Priest might.
